Paired with as one of your Garrison pet battle daily battles. They both have the passive ability Hearty Meal.To start the encounter, click on the Challenge Post that has the legendary paw icon above it.

Both of these Legendary Pets are Beasts with Beast abilities (with the exception of Winter Spirit from the first pet).

Comment by JenGG

Got both pigs with only 2 pets. Make sure to switch back to the Dragon once the Lightning ends, 2 turrets up is enough to take both out. I did not even have to use my 3rd pet.

Comment by Allnighthunt

I did not have most of the pets suggested in the other comments so I came up with my own crew to tackle these devious little pigs. I used Cogblade Rapor : Exposed wounds, Batter until my Raptor expired. I next used Anodized Robo Cub: Demolish and an occasional Rebuild until the cub died. My last team member was Lil Bling: Make it Rain, Blingtron Gift Packge, and SMCKTHAT.EXE for the win!

Et tu Brute?

Comment by Egbert

Lil' Bling took out Brutus with SMCKTHAT.EXE, Extra Plating, and Make it Rain. - Make it rain every chance you get

Menagerie Custodian took out Rukus with Zap, Shock and Awe, and Lock-On. - I just used Shock and Awe and Lock-On, but I got lucky with the 25% chance stun.

I also had Son of Animus lined up, but I didn't have to use him.

I only had to try this once. Maybe I just got lucky. I hope this helps!

Easy way to do this with reasonably easy to acquire pets. You can consistently beat these guys with only two pets (Raptor and Gnome) so the Tonk is just a bonus pet.

1. Start with Gnome and Build Turret2. Switch to Raptor and cast Expose Wounds.3. Back to Gnome and Build Turret.4. Cast Metal Fist.5. Switch back to Raptor and Expose Wounds.6. Switch back to Gnome and Build Turret.7. Back to Raptor and Batter. (Or, if Gnome is alive, simply Metal Fist him).8. If the last enemy is still alive, finish it off with your Tonk (usually not necessary).

My aim here is to develop solid strats so as to utilise and benefit from the massive XP gains these fights offer, whilst carrying pets as low level as possible. If you have an improvement suggestion for this or any of my other strats please leave a comment, keeping in mind I won't be making strats for single-boss fights due to the lack of bonus XP.

Start with Lil'bling and his Extra Plating, he's going to line up our damage stream. One its up, use Make it Rain. That will not only hit for some good damage on the cast, but will also set a buff on the opposing TEAM for additional round damage, pretty much negating the health they get every round. From there, pop Inflation. It will continue for a few rounds and set an extra damage debuff on Brutus for two rounds, much like Howl. When Lil'bling's racial is activated, reuse Make it Rain. A few times it went critical and killed Brutus, leaving Bling up for a round to reapply Inflation, which ended up giving me 2.4k Ion Cannons, which is awesome if you can set it up. But mostly it just reset the damage debuff for the Yeti.

When bling goes down, bring in Tranquil Mechanical Yeti. Start with Call Lightning. It will drop 1.2k on Brutus face, if you use Ion cannon, it will drop 2.4 k, and we will recover for two rounds, so save it for Rukus. When Rukus enters, start with Fist. From there, use Ion Cannon. It will drop him very low, when yeti dies, bring in the Menagerie Custodian. Depending on the health left, Start with Shock and Awe, or just Ion Cannon him to the Face, GG little Piggys!

Team 2: Lil' Bling and Menagerie Custodian + whatever pet to level

Start with Lil bling, use Extra Plating, then Launch Rocket. Afterwards, use Inflation. it will go for 3 rounds. Once it resolves, use the rocket and nuke for about 1.8k. When Brutus goes down and Rukus comes in, switch to the level pet for 1 round. After he takes some damage, swap back to Lil Bling, he should have enough health to soak the Hunting Party. Once he goes down swap in menagerie custodian. All it takes from here is a Shock and Awe, followed with an Ion Cannon to the face! I wouldn't use any pets that are just starting off, id level pets that can take a 600 dmg hit from the Bloodfang.

Comment by moriwende

I used Pandaren Water Spirit, Chrominius, and Rocket Chicken.

First PWS - Geyser then WhirlpoolSwitch to Chrom - Howl then Surge of PowerFirst guy should be dead.Switch to PWS - Geyser then probably death. (Poor thing.)Switch to Rocket Chicken - Launch then Toxic Smoke then Missile until dead.

That's what worked for me. I didn't have a lot of the pets suggested to 25 so I worked with what I had. Hope it helps someone. .=)

Comment by seckid

This new update uses the same cast of characters as before but includes a big explosion at the end that one of my commenters was so good to recommend., This will now allow a level 1 carry pet with pretty much 100% results. (i can not get this strat to fail)

ALT Turn: Decoy (if zeppelin gets low on health -- i NEVER had to do this)

Turn 10: /dance

...ALT LEVELING OPTION: As a side note, this is such a FAST pet run, it can be used to level ALTS if you are tired of the legion zone quests! The run takes a little over a minute and my lvl 102 (now 107) death knight was scoring around 11-12K xp per run. I was averaging 100K every 10 minutes -- a level about every hour to 1 1/2 hr with bathroom breaks, plus I am getting a few new lvl 25 pets to play with! (they nerfed the pet xp so that part is slow)

For Brutus:begin with Darkmoon Zepplinplace DecoyBombing Runfill with Missiletry to place a second Bombing run before dyingbring out Clockwork GnomeLaunch Rockets nonstopBrutus should be dead and you might get one Metal Fist off on Rukus

For Rukus:if Clockwork Gnome is still alive via Failsafe, use Metal FistAnodized Robo Cub is your final petcast SuperchargeDemolishDemolishRukus should be dead

All your pets will die and use Failsafe during this battle. Have fun!

Edit: I've been running more tests with this combo and it's not 100%, but it does work often. Anodized Robo Cub's Demolish isn't always reliable. This strat will likely get you a win, if you don't have many mechanical pets or raptors.

Comment by sasquatch1955

1. Iron Starlette, 1,2,12. Carry pet, will not take any damage so level one will work3. Iron Starlette, 1,2,1

Start with first Iron Starlette (P/P)1. Wind-Up2. Supercharge, Brutus will have killed you, but thanks to mechanical passive you're resurrected and then...3. Wind-Up, first piggy dead.4. Powerball.Typically after the first hit from Rukus, you will be dead, (but I have had RNG where I've been able to connect with a couple of Powerball moves before dying), switch in carry pet and immediately remove and put in second Iron Starlette (P/S). You want your faster pet in the third position so he can get all three moves in before being killed the second time.

Comment by Tobias44142

$%^& blizzard and their stupid pet battles. The only way to win these later ones is to HAVE almost every pet in the #$%^ing game in order to get the type/ability you need and then look up which combo you need against each legendary pet. Once you do that its easy and broken. Good job blizzard.

Comment by lowri

Hi all really easy setup (This is not my idea but is from Tamer Liopleurodon from Battle pet Roundup.) However its only in video so thought would write down the team and the way to do it.)

Both pets should be dead, win win. (Hope this helps you all, please however remember that the dreaded ability known simply as RNG can and will strike at anytime, but this for me has been the most useful strat for these.)

Comment by enough01

Clock Gnome build turretSun reaver Call of LightningLin Blin Make it rain gift then I used Blingtron gift Package

- Gnome starts, building a turret- Next round, I used Metal Fist- Switch to the Tonk. Of course, the turret was still up, firing- Use Shock And Awe, then Ion Cannon, killing Brutus- Brought out the Gnome, set up another turret- Metal fist, then my gnome died- Turret kept firing, I got out Chrominius- Howl- Surge Of Power (make sure that Rukus has low enough health (in my fight it was less than 1.3K) for Surge Of Power to kill him

I hope this helps! The tacts above sure are great, yet I was missing a specific pet for each of those, so I tried mixing them up =)

I didn't lvl up my Iron starlette, so I made a team of three mechanical and worked well!Mechanical pandaren dragonlingCogblade raptorLandro's lil' XTUsed the abilities against beasts and managed to win first try.

Comment by BethofHearts

Team: Clockwork Gnome. Cogblade Raptor. Darkmoon Zeppelin

1: Build Turret2. switch to Raptor. Expose Wounds3. Back to Gnome. Build another turret. two turrets will blast the hell out of Brutus4. Cast filler with gnome if Brutus is still alive to finish him off5. Raptor, Expose Wounds6. Zeppelin, Decoy7. Missile to finish him off

Comment by Jackobs

Fastest way to kill them that I've got. May be useful for farming those wins for blueprint. - Iron Scarlette with Wind-up and Supercharge - Tranquil Mechanical Yeti with Metal Fist, Call Lightning and Ion Cannon.1) Iron Scarlette begins. Wind-up, Supercharge, Wind-up, Brutus is dead.2) Scarlette tries to use whatever ability and dies from Ruckus.3) Yeti uses Lightning, Metal Fist once and Ion Cannon. That's it.

Comment by jahf

UPDATE: They seem to have buffed the fight ... 2 attempts and no luck with Sunreaver. Looks like Brutus is doing enough more damage that you can't get the right combination in. Will make this same note in the top post. Sorry folks, the leveling component is likely not as viable ... but with a 3rd Mechanical I still think this combination will work "ok".

Levels any Undead from L1 up, most Mechanicals from around L5 and up, or virtually any other breed from L11+ except Critters which will need to be around L15.

Similar to others but over the last couple of fights I think I've got it timed perfect for these pets/breeds. The key is the Clockwork Gnome must be faster than Rukus (265+ speed). I prefer the Sunreaver/Yeti slot to be P/P but I think even a H/H would have enough damage to use this method but you might have to adjust timing since you'll be hitting first if you've got speed at all on it.

The swap pet MUST be able to handle a single round of Hunting Party from Rukus. So an undead or mechanical of ANY level or the swap pet will need to have 700+ hp (1000+ for Critters) to be reliable.

This strat makes use of 3 deaths ... 2 soaked by your mechanicalness ... the Clockwork Gnome will die completely after his last use.

5: Chrominius is on Surge Cooldown, Rukus will kill your Chrominius using either Hunting Part or Bloodfang. Switch to Mechanical Dragonling. Your dragonling will be going first.6: Cast Bombing Run7a: IF Chrominius was killed by Rukus with Hunting Party, Cast Decoy7b: IF Chrominius was killed by Rukus with Bloodfang, then Cast Breath, Then Decoy

For the last Lil XT Bit, depending on which actions Rukus uses your Heartbreak may not give you the double damage. If not, your boombot will still hit and you can clean up with Dragonlin. If your Heartbreak does give you the double damage, your last Zap and your Boombot explosion will do double damage (even though the Boombot will go off after your final death, it will still do 1500 damage)

Either way, your Lil XT will always last long enough for the Bomb to go off, then you can finish with Dragonlin easily if the Heartbreak doesn't work (especially since Dragonlin goes first and will also have Failsafe for one last attack).

Comment by Vaeevictiss

Double Starlet team will take out these guys with a spot left for a leveling pet. Almost as quick as Elenor or the 3 birds. You will NEED a P/P and a P/S (2x P/S should work too).

Start with P/P Starlet (if you are not using 2x P/S)

Wind-UpSuperchargeWind-Up

Brutus dies, Rukus comes out.

Do whatever, you will die regardless with a P/P breed.

Choose carry pet, then swap to 2nd Startlet.

Wind-UpSuperchargeWind-Up

Done

Comment by skylar

I did this with Pandaren Water Spirit, Chrominius, and Cogblade Raptor.

Start with PWS. Pop Geyser, Whirpool. Switch to Chrominius — Howl, then Surge of Power. Chrominius will die.Bring back out PWS. Geyser again. PWS dies.Finish off with the Cogblade Raptor. Overtune and Batter once or twice should do it.

I used this very same strat on two separate characters with the very same results. Won both fights on the first try. Good luck!

Comment by Brunhill

Brutus and Rukus boars:For this duo I choose three mechanical pets, all rare, 25's:Iron StarletteBlackfuse BomblingRobo-Chick or Moth (see my note below on using a flying moth instead of Robo-Chick if Rukus is being a problem)--------------------<Iron Starlette>Wind-upSuper ChargeWind-upBrutus dies or is near death, you can try a toxic smoke or just pass, it doesn't matter cause the starlette will die with the next hit! If Brutus is dead from your Wind-up and you revive with 280 health like I did 2 out of 3 times, then Rukus wastes his Bloodfang killing you, making it a lot easier for your next pet's run.-------------------<Blackfuse Bombling>Bombing Run > switch to third pet------------------<Robo-Chick>BatterSuperchargeBatterOverturn > (for speed boost because you will probably die here and that gives you two turns on revival to go first to kill him with Batter)BatterBatter if needed----------------Game Over!--------------------------------1/20/15: A change up of pets today--- I've been unlucky with rng today and Rukus has been maintaining too much health and killing off my third mechanical so a little switch-up! Since he is weak against flying, I subbed in my Flamering Moth for Robo-Chick and was successful every time! ---------------instead of Robo-Chick I used:Flamering Moth >Moth Dust (if health is 50% or less after Moth Dust, then go to Heal-- if health is good then go to)Alpha Strike (Bombing run hits too)--------------back to Blackfuse Bombling >Bombing RunExplode > Blackfuse dead >--------------Flamering Moth >Heal if needed >Moth Dust (puts him to sleep)Alpha Strike and Bombing Run strikes too-- Rukus is dead, if not then Alpha Strike for the win!

Comment by Andromedia

This one was tough for me as the comments did not include pets I had or the ones that did were not working for me.

Call lightningswap to Clockwork gnometurretfist until turret is off CDyou should kill first boar before its off CDI proc'd rez on the first boars last hitHe should be able to build last turret before you die. bring sunreaver back incall lightning(my turrets killed him here)You may need to fel immolate to kill him off if it did not kill him last turn

I brought in Darkmoon ZeppelinOpened with DecoyThen dropped Bombing RunAnd used Missile (which is funny when he gets stuck facing the other way because it looks like he's getting the rocket up his behind) Do another Decoy or Bombing Run whenever it is up, then continue to Missile while the other abilities are on cooldown.

This should kill Brutus, otherwise one more Zap from Lil' XT will clean him up. If you are lucky and your Zeppelin is still up just keep dropping decoy, bombing run and missiles till you die (I generally cast bombing run then die, and it goes off when I rez) and Lil' XT gets brought in.

As soon as Lil' XT comes in throw up XE-321 Boombot and just lay in with Zap because he hits so hard you won't get any benefit or time to heal AND the Unholy Ascension may have a round or two still up, so just keep zapping. You should win just after you rez.

Good luck, and Battle On! :)

Comment by Luvia

I did this with only 2 pets. I read the other comments about Blingatron and Sunreaver Micro Sentry being so good for this fight, but both of these are level 1 for me. I had a 25 Clockwork Gnome which works great, and I chose a Wild Golden Hatchling, that you get from pet battles in Pandaria, because it was already level 21 and I just had to use a couple leveling stones on it. For my 3rd pet I used a level 23 that was only there for experience.

Comment by MickeyFinn

This leveling strat is a tweaked combination of some already posted, but none of the others are very reliable for me. This one is, and it works with any level carry pet since it never participates in the fight; the XP comes from being the only one left alive at the end.

Step 3: If Starlette is in failsafe mode at this point, Powerball til it dies. Otherwise Wind-Up x2, then Powerball til dead.*

Step 4: Bring Zeppelin back out and Missile until Decoy is ready, then Decoy and Missile some more. When Rukus' HP is less than 615, Explode. Rukus and Zeppelin die, carry pet dings.

*Once in a blue moon, you'll get some lucky crits and Rukus will get below 615 HP while the Starlette is still alive. When this happens, just pass until Starlette is dead, then resume step 4.

ps. I haven't tried this with any other breed of Starlette, but P/S is the only one that's faster than Rukus. I usually (not always!) have a few more turns left in the Zeppelin before exploding, so those extra hits that Starlette gives Rukus in Step 3 may not be absolutely necessary...

If Biggles doesn't die in round 11, Brutus may get an extra shot on you before you can Wind-Up. If it's a Pig Out it shouldn't kill you unless it crits. If it's a Winter Spirit or Horn Gore it will. But the strat should work most of the time.

Brutus(speed300), Rukus(speed263)Unborn Val'kyr B/B(Shadow Shock, Curse of Doom, Unholy Ascension)Lil' Bling S/S(Inflation, Make it Rain)Menagerie Custodian H/P(Zap, Shock and Awe, Ion Cannon)*Start with Unborn Val'kyr and cast Shadow Shock, Shadow Shock, Curse of Doom, Unholy Ascension. Val'kyr should die here but if pops back up throw out another Shadow Shock till the Val'kyr goes down permanently.**Next bring in Lil' Bling and cast Make it Rain, then cast Inflation which will last for 3 rounds and along with Curse of Doom should kill Brutus and when Rukus comes in Bling should be downed and come back and run the last Inflation run onto Rukus then cast Make it rain. ***When Lil'Bling dies bring in Managerie Custodian and cast Shock and Awe then cast Ion Cannon. this should win it.

Comment by Elmyra

For Brutus and Rukus I've Used: Unborn Val'kyr (HH), Chrominius and Son of Animus.

Start with Unborn Val'kyr:- Curse of Doom- Haunt

then switch to Chrominius:- Howl- Surge of Power

Burutus dies, and Chrominius dies just after recovery before you can attack.

Go with Son of Animus:- Touch of Animus- Metal Fist till Animus dies.*at this point becareful, probably Son of Animus will die with Rukus' stampede like move. dont let it infest Animus.

Unborn Val'kyr-Shadow Shock till Rukus dies.

This one worked for me, good luck guys.

Comment by Rakkasan

What's up with the BS uber healing these pets get after each round?

I've tried a number of the pet combos listed here and 2/3 time they heal up for more damage than I can inflict each round.

Comment by sniperintainting

Two Iron Starlettes and no bull.

Comment by Timain

So someone in one of the top-rated posts suggested to use Explode from the Zeppelin to kill Rukus, but that always fell short by a few hp, so my husband and I started experimenting. This is what we came up with:

You can use any level 1 pet you like, since it will not take any damage. You don't even have to swap it in!

Start with Lil' BlingRound 1: Extra PlatingRound 2: Launch Rocket - this readies the rocket, but doesn't fire it yetRound 3 to 5: Inflation - this will put a debuff on him to take double damage. By round 5 Lil' Bling will die and resurrect with his failsafe. Don't worry though, since he's faster than Brutus he will kill him next round withRound 6: Launch Rocket - this actually fires the earlier rocket, killing Brutus

Rukus comes out. Round 7: Inflation - Lil' Bling is also faster than Rukus, so he will get off one round of inflation, thus applying the double damage debuff. After this round he will die for good.Bring in Darkmoon Zeppelin.Round 8: Missile Round 9: MissileRound 10: If Rukus has more than 618 health, do one more Missile, otherwise go right to Explode -> WIN!

Sometimes it might be necessary to adapt the last rounds a little. If your Zep takes too much damage before Rukus is at 618 health, (either from crits on Rukus' end or if your MIssile hits are too low), you can postpone the Explode a little, use Decoy, one more Missile and then Explode to still make it work.

Since the Zeppelin self destructs with the Explode, only your leveling pet will be left to take the fame and glory of the kill. This means it will get exp even though it was never in the fight!

Edited in a little extra about Decoy. Thanks for your comments, guys! :)

I started with the Valkyr and used Curse of Doom followed by haunt. Switched to Pandaren Water Spirit and used Geyser followed by Whirlpool, then switched to mechanical pandaren dragonling and used bombing run followed by decoy and breaths until first one died.

Next one came up so I switched to the valkyr, stuff was still in CD so I used her first ability, she had her first death but Curse of Doom came back up so I used that before she died fully. I switched to PWS mine had really bad luck and had 2 crits on her first try so I was only able to cast Geyser before she died. I switched to mechanical pandaren dragonling, did bombing run and decoy then breaths until second one died.

Comment by MickeyFinn

Today, my level 10 pet is gaining 84 XP per fight, so I guess Brutus and Rukus are not the awesome levelers that they were before.

Comment by JonGhost52

It takes ages but it works : Ruby droplet : use Drain blood on CD, otherwise Absorb ; don't bother with Bubble, the healing from the 2 other abilities is largely sufficient and you don't want to give Brutus a tour during which he can heal without getting damages ; this is a very process ...When you've brought him down below 1000 HP switch to Chrominius, Howl then Surge of power ; Brutus should dieChrominius should be able to apply Howl on Rukus before being killledAnubisath Idol : Rupture (benefitting from the Howl applied) and Demolish a couple times

Comment by Eaglecreek49

Comment by Pumpkin1

One shotted both Brutus and Rukus with the Iron Starlette. I used Supercharge and Demolish. Rukus killed the Iron Starlette after Supercharge was used, then it rezzed due to it being mechanical. Popped Demolish again. "Work Complete"

Comment by Thyrus

I was trying for the quickest/laziest way to farm these pets to hit my Draenic Pet Battler achievement as I disliked switching pets around and wasting turns. I ended up only using two pets, Zandalari Anklerender and an S/B Cogblade Raptor (any breed should work).

Start with Anklerender.

>Black Claw>Hunting Party>Primal Cry

Brutus is dead. Last boar comes in. Apply Black Claw on him and your Anklerender will die. Send in Cogblade.

>Exposed Wounds>Batter for 590+ a hit till dead

It takes 7 moves, and Brutus has to crit REALLY hard on your Anklerender to mess up your routine, but any third pet with a powerful move like Surge of Power or Ion Cannon can mop up any mistakes.

Comment by drmyk

Best single pet I've tried is Son of Animus. Metal fist, siphon anima, and extra plating. Keep extra plating up, siphon on cooldown, metal fist otherwise. I've had him solo them, with a little luck, but I keep bling in reserve in case there's a problem.

Comment by Eaglecreek49

While you can use several combos to take this team down, Ive come to like using Zandalari pets against them most of all. My current Team for this set is 2 Zandalari Kneebiters or any Zanda pet using Black Claw Followed by Hunting Party. Your third slot is open to whatever backup pet you prefer, but I like using a Tranquil Mechanical Yeti and opening with call lightning. The weather effects plus Black claw buff and Hunting party just literally destroys Brutus and Rukus

Note: Don't be discouraged if you can't fully repeat a 2nd round of Bling's attacks before it dies, your Yeti packs enough of a wallop to finish the fight.

Comment by rezzyk

Practially solo'ed it with a PP Iron Starlette. Wind-up, Supercharge, Wind-up and Brutus is dead. You should be able to get another Wind-up x2 off before the Starlette dies. This gets Rukus to about 50% health. Then I brought in my Menagerie Custodian (although really any mechanical will do) to finish of Rukus.

Comment by Pandamir

I have also found another strat that works for brutus and rukus.

Team:Dread HatchingProtoDrake WhelpChrominius

Dread hatchling first, use called darkness > noctournal strike. peck/shadowtalon untill noctournal strike is up again and it should finish off brutus with the dread hatchling 1 hp away from death. use any move and once dead call out Protodrake Whelp. Breath > Protostrike > ancients blessing, breath untill one of you is dead. if rukus is not dead, send out Chrominius to finish him off.

Comment by Aquaria

Very easy with Lifelike Mechanical Boar, Clockwork Gnome and I didn't even use my third pet, which was the Cogblade Raptor.

I started with the boar, used Decoy, and Missileover and over until I was low enough to need a heal (Rebuild) and then repeat. I got Brutus down all the way, and put a good dent in Rukus.

Popped out my Clockwork Gnome and dropped his Build Turret and then kept using Metal Fist until dead.

Comment by cadred

Here's my 2 cents. Just finished the battle with Warbot, or other mechanical with missile, minefield, and rocket; Cogblade Raptor with batter, overtune, and expose wounds; and any other mechanical with beast damage abilities. I used Clockwork Gnome.

Comment by Rodentia

Call Lightning whenever it is availableMetal Fist until target is low enough health to one-shot with Ion Cannon

Repeat with Yeti #2.

Comment by Silah

2 petted this:

Mechaninal Scorpid 2,2,2Lil' Bling 1,2,2

Start with scorpid and put up Extra plating.Go for wind up, wind up again and now you should both be almost dead or maybe you just got ressurected, finish him off with a puncture wound.

For Rukus get out Lil' Bling.Also start with extra plating.Make it rain, and keep using SMCKTHAT.EXE until he dies.If you can't make it before you die, which i doubt; use any third pet.

If you have 2 Chrominius, this is a easy battle. Pet One: Panda Water Spirit with whirlpool and geyserPet Two and Three: Chrominius with Howl and Surge Of Power.Simple Rotation, start with Water Spirit, cast Geyser then Whirlpool, switch to first Chrominius.Cast Howl, then Surge Of Power, first pet dies, after recovery period, switch back to Water Spirit.Cast Geyser then Whirlpool, switch to second Chrominius.Cast Howl, then Surge of Power, second pet dies.Easy Peasy!

Comment by Pablocko

Curious Wolvar PupI dont know how to link pets,but thats the one i use, just start with him and use the trap abilitie at all times, after that i use zandalari anklerender and finished with the warbot.The pup brought them both down to 50%

Comment by mrblanchard

I killed both Brutus and Rukus in one hit each using Anodized Robo Cub. I think I must have been very lucky though. I tried a few times afterwards and couldn't replicate the same success. However, my backups more often than not managed to finish the job.

Here's what I did:

1. I started with Anodized Robo Cub.2. When the battle starts I use Supercharge which increases hit by 125% for 1 round.3. Then attacked Brutus with Demolish.(50% chance of hitting)

Literally, (if you hit) it usually takes one hit to kill Brutus. Same thing goes for Rukus. If successful, you win.

If not... use your repair. Usually, you'll get one more chance to use Demolish after repairing.

Comment by Warondar

Anyone can easily destroy this piggy duo with just 1 pet now, the rare P/S version of Crimsonwing MothUsing Slicing Wind, Counterspell, and Call Lightning did the trick.

If you want to bring in a backup, I'd recommend a mechanical such as the Lifelike Mechanical Frostboar for Missile's mechanical damage increased thanks to Call Lightning, and of course Decoy to avoid a few attacks.

So if you don't have this moth already, I strongly suggest you do get it. Not only can it handle this fight easily, it will make many other encounters easy as well. I personally rank this pet in my top 10 favorites, both for combat and appearance.

The only drawback is farming this moth. It's only found in Talador, Draenor and there's only 1 spawn up at a time in the whole zone. It can spawn pretty much anywhere in the zone, so it might take a bit of time getting the one you want, which would be a rare Power/Speed version.

Comment by Jassariain

Iron Starlette (1,2,1) and Chrominius (~,1,2) work well for this fight. Iron Starlette kills Brutus with Wind up, supercharge, wind up. Then you deal as much damage on Rukus with Wind-up, toxic smoke, then wind-up. And then bring out Chrominius with Howl and Surge of Power. on Rukus.

Because XP bonus was nerfed with 6.1, I wouldn't recommend using a carry. However, this strategy can be modified for a carry. It adds 1 round for 50 XP. Bring the carry in after the Starlette dies, then swap immediately to the Tonk.

Comment by MotherOfDanbo

Just 2 pets for me.

Lil' Bling: Extra Plating (keep up on every cd) - Make It Rain - SMCKTHAT.EXE

Bloodbeak: Liftoff - Rain Dance - Peck

Comment by Polynices

Just making sure people know that they nerfed the pet XP from this battle. Just did it with the Zeppelin strategy below. Only my leveling pet survived and I had the safari hat on and it is the Pet Battle Bonus Event for triple XP. My leveling pet got 180 XP. Sad face.

Just posting this for the record so people checking here for a strat are aware ahead of time.

Comment by Rasztra

After the change, this gives so little XP that it's not worth carrying a pet. My unbuffed level 1 carry received 58 XP, barely enough to get to level 2. You would be much better off fighting wild critters.

However if you still want to try to carry, or if you just want a reliable kill strategy, the following worked 100% of the time for me on 10 attempts.
